ROBERT VINTON' SAMPSION, 0F DENVER, COLORADO.

COLLAR-BUTTON.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 3, 1919.

Application filed February 15, 1919. Serial No. 277,156.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ronnn'r V. SAMPSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Denver, in the county of Denver and State of Colorado, have invented a new and Improved Gollar-Button, of which the tollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to collar buttons and has for an object the provision of an improved construction which acts in the double capacity of a button hook and a collar button whereby the button part may be easily placed in position.

Another object of the invention is to provide a collar button with a pendant which acts as a retaining member as well as means for causing the button to be quickly and easily placed in position.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a collar with a button disclosing the invention applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the button, the same being on an enlarged scale.

Fig.3 is an edge View of the button shown in Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a front View of the button shown in Fig. 2.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, A indicates an ordinary collar which is provided with the usual buttonholes for receiving a collar button at the front as well as the back. An ordinary solid button often times tears the front opening and consequently the collar will not remain in place properly. To avoid this, and also insure against the button becoming loose a special structure has been provided as illustrated more particularly in Figs. 2 to 4 in elusive. Said button is provided with what may be termed a pendant 1 and a body 2. The pendant 1 is provided with a comparatively sharpened end 3 and an eye 4- fitted into the eye 5 of the body 2. The eye 5 merges into a neck portion 6 which in turn merges into a base 7, said base extending in a plane at right angles to the direction of the neck 6, as illustrated more particularly in Figs. 3 and at.

When it is desired to apply the button pendant is inserted through the two button holes of the collar A and the eye 5 and neck 6 are drawn into and through the button holes as far as possible. The necktie is then tied and finally the pendant 1 is then swung around to the position shown in Fig. 1 where it is held in place by the tie. If desired the sharpened end 3 may be pointed sufficiently to pierce somewhat the necktie and become interlocked therein.

What I claim is:

1. A collar button comprising a base, a neck, a head formed with an opening, and a pendant having an eye extending through said opening so as to swing freely of the head, said pendant acting as guiding means when the button is being placed in position, and as a form of locking means after the button has been placed in position.

2. A collar button comprising a body formed of a wire bent for producing a base, a neck extending from one side of said base, said neck merging into a head having aneye, and a pendant interlocking with the eye on said head, said pendant being formed with a body merging into a pointed end.

3. A collar button comprising a body formed of wire bent for producing a head in the form of an eye, a neck extending from said head, and a base extending from one side of the neck, and retaining means loosely swinging over said eye.
